You know who else sounds like LLM from time to time? ESL - English as a Second Language. People learn English from books, and get introduced to phrases through reading or interacting with others within the same community. So, it sounds like you're using the LLM argument as a way to diminish their voices as well.
I always saw it as a trust-chain and think that anyone is welcomed to create a root certificate and distribute it to whomever trusts them. Most simple services may not need TLS, but with the ISPs eavesdropping on our communication, a form of secure communication is required and the currently best solution we have requires a trust-chain to be built.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is. Well, it gets complicated quickly when a wide range of users involved.
And YouTube recently (and silently) started approving multiple in-add ads for videos longer than 20 minutes. They destroyed the long-form content creators with their shorts push, and now it looks like they're trying to recover a little.
Just curious, what do you do with the increasing number of companies that use push notifications as a form of advertising venue, and how do you differentiate the security warning notification from your camera app from their special weekly annual sale notification?
The marginal cost of each notification is so low that companies simply spam users nonstop, and their A/B tests shows that the revenue is increasing. What's being lost though is that we're getting more and more agitated with these brands and their uncapped malicious behaviors. This is also true with their UI and UX as well, they keep adding banners with incredibly small close buttons, because someone will continue with the shopping after accidently missing the tiny button, and that's an added sale, who cares about 99% of users who are fuming with dissatisfaction, what are they going to throw away their $200-300 smart home device because companies abuse them?
Back in early days of personal computers, the instructor told us that a computer just does what you tell tell it to do, though not always what you thought, and making a mistake thousands of times a second hurts a lot.
Sorry, I was responding to the comment, not the article.
Distinction without a difference.
I think it's about owning the consequences of one's own actions.
Please be cognizant of fake plugins. They replicate entire plugins including the readme files and link to the original repos, but the code itself is different.
I agree, for anyone who's not familiar with it, one is a marketing term while the other is the actual measurement.
So 40 containers carried transported by 20 trucks and then by 3 cargo planes?
Surely you would increase the salary of the current employees if you're hiring new people with higher salaries.
Also, it sounds like the entire premise is "people don't want to work because they're not being paid enough" which is enough of a good reason by itself.
Seems like distros consider it a medium risk because it doesn't involve remote code execution and requires local access. Though it allows local root privilege escalation which is considered high priority.

Medium: A significant problem, typically exploitable for many users. Includes network daemon denial of service, cross-site scripting, and gaining user privileges.

A vendor I never interacted with emailing me usually has no respect of me.
There's definitely a trend of ignoring prompts and cutting thinking short.
The new trend is that the legitimate corporations sending you spam regardless of your communication settings, or even after unsubscribing for the 10th time.
Yes, I'm looking at you Teal HQ, you're spamming us even 3 months after deleting our accounts.
With various websites planning to introduce micro-transactions to read their contents, maybe the end-users should start charging for email deliveries.
You want to send me an email? Please give me $1 first, and if I don't like your content I can, without notice, change that number to $50 per email.
The number of files in the node modules folder is crazy, any amount of organization that can tame that chaos is welcomed.
You're absolutely right on that one. It usually starts with querying data from complex systems, and slowly morphs into a dedicated solution of itself. I started seeing a lot of OEMs integrating projects like Grafana and Metabase into their product, and LLMs is making things a lot easier for everyone to start other bespoke apps as well.
Bespoke works to a certain extend, just like having various spreadsheets with macros in them, but after a while having a standard business process becomes quite vital. Especially when other people already made the same mistakes and came up with good solutions, but also you will need talent that is already trained for these procedure. Otherwise, you may need to take the burden of training folks all the time for something that they will not be able to transfer anywhere.
Speaking from experience, it's because most systems and companies miss a lot of edge cases and standard business processes while they're trying to reinvent the wheel.
A recent example of this is, when a job has multiple shipments, there can be no single due date, e.g. 5 EA due on Tuesday and remaining 7 EA due on Friday. It's a big surprise to new comers and when you add a couple of hundred edge cases like this, SAP becomes the standard way of both obtaining this information and in a way enforcing it.
It's incredible how many applications abuse disk access.
In a similar fashion, Apple Podcasts app decided to download 120GB of podcasts for random reason and never deleted them. It even showed up as "System Data" and made me look for external drive solutions.
Most HN readers would now, but in the case somebody new reads it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
The Streisand effect describes a situation where an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information.
Looks like it, thank you!
Does anyone know the app they're using to sniff the network traffic?
Sounds like I should give Claude Code another try. The last time I worked with it, it was quite eager to code without a good plan, and would overcomplicate things all the time.
Not entirely relevant, but the example I remember is I asked for help with SQL to concatenate multiple rows into a single column with SQL Server and instead of reminding me to use STRING_AGG, it started coding various complicated joins and loops.
So my experience is/was a little different. Regardless, I think I should take one of my old programs and try implementing it from ground up by explaining the issue I'm trying to solve to see how things progress, and where things fail.
Could you explain how a chat session progresses, with an example if possible?
The what-why switch is quite useful, because it also helps you avoid Claude's "great idea!" responses as well.
I think the initial plan was to introduce lost-kid/elderly plan, but they thought people will be more willing to accept a pet version (pun indented) first.
Also the implementation is quite strange as well. I can imagine a version where the camera itself compares the recorded footage against a well-known database of lost children, just like the milk cartons.
